used so certainly the reality on the ground is a back this no fly zone could be implemented within the coming hours and the latest word we hearing is that it could be implemented as soon as tonight saturday but it is important to say though that the u.s. president barack obama has issued an ultimatum to the libyan leader moammar gadhafi he has said to him pull back somewhere hold territory and assist in humanitarian efforts or else you will feel the full rough out the u.n. indorsed these strikes and at the moment if so he does seem as if the reality on the ground is pointing towards the duffy regime feeling those those airstrikes all right our course we are live for us in tripoli with the latest right. let's go to london now and talk with a british opposition m.p. and peace campaigner jeremy corbyn who's standing by. good to have you with us so good r.t. declared a cease fire only yesterday but this morning we hear reports of new violence do you think he's testing the international community's pensions what do you think his tactic is. i think he was to call the ceasefire in order to ho

this is because london has indicated that it has fears that gadhafi might use these stockpiles against his own people the official reason though for those british troops being there is humanitarian reasons it's also also the official reason that's been given by the united states for warships that if into the region it says that these warships might be used or at least are planning to use them in humanitarian efforts but that all options are on the table and this has raised concerns here that they might be behind the scenes some kind of plan for international intervention despite libyans saying that they do not want to have us all right thank you very much for that update as we continue to cover the events in the region thank you paula. now as the libyan crisis really just saw as some foreign powers are weighing up whether to get involved wolf it was ben as director of the washington based think tank the institute for policy studies he believes that nato is military intervention is on realistic and its recent posturing is throwing off. this is an old story in washington where hu

with the gadhafi regime after receiving controversial cash donations. like for most of us here in central moscow this is r t with twenty four hours a day libya's opposition has told colonel gadhafi if he leaves the country now they won't put him on trial but libyan state t.v. has broadcast denials that gadhafi offered to quit if his family were not to safely leave the country continues in parts of libya more than three weeks after protests erupted. has more now from tripoli where one can be cheering opposition that moammar gadhafi is in talks with them they say that he's asking for an opportunity to escape the country he proposed to me she knocked hanumant chiquitita transition period to pave the way for him to meet opposition groups also saints and he won immunity from criminal prosecution and the mission to take the country launched a month now all of these reports rejected by it. he has denied these kind of claims on state television the opposition also saying that if he leads now they would not consider seeking prosecution through the international court of justice but as i sa
